Burner inserter

Burner inserter/infobox

The Burner inserter is the most basic and slowest type of Inserter. They are powered by burning Fuel, compared to the more advanced inserters which are powered by electricity. When moving fuel, they will fuell themselves as well. While having no drain, they consume vastly more energy than comparable Inserters when active.

Burner inserters cannot grab moving items from neither red belts or blue belts. They also cannot grab moving items from turning belts if the item's on the far side.

Since v0.10.0, any Fuel items picked up by a burner inserter will also be used to power the inserter. This makes it useful for:

• Automatically loading Gun turrets from a Transport belt, where one side of the belt is filled with magazines and the other with Coal.
• Filling Boilers with Coal. This has the advantage that they will continue working even if the power fails. This is not the case for electrically powered inserters.

A burner inserter consumes about 1 coal every 97.14 seconds (0.0103 coal/second).
